Fuji X-E1 vs X-E2 RAW vs JPEG (X-E2 Shadow Area Too Dark)

I bought an X-E2 after having my X-E1 kit stolen on board a train from Cologne to Paris last year.

However, I feel that the settings on JPEG on X-E2 is set too easily clipped on the shadows/dark area compared to X-E1. This is very apparent and problematic with portraits of black hair people.

I've been a JPEG shooter with X-E1 since the OOC JPEG came out so beautifully. Not so with X-E2, which made me a RAW shooter.

I borrowed X-E1 and compared it with my X-E2 to find out. I thought, this was just the JPEG settings. But, it turned out that the with the default settings (with Lightroom 5) the shadow area on X-E2 is indeed darker than X-E1 but it happens on both the RAW and JPEG. Nothing scientific. All handheld, default settings on JPEG.
